The New York Jets defeated the New England Patriots in overtime during Sunday's intense AFC matchup at MetLife Stadium. The scene was intense after the game, too, when a male Jets fan punched a female Patriots fan.

A cell phone video posted by NBC 4 New York shows a scuffle taking place near an exit gate at the stadium in East Rutheford, New Jersey. One man is seen on the ground, surrounded by football fans throwing punches and grabbing at each other.

During the fight, a woman wearing a Patriots shirt walks up to a man wearing a Jets jersey, yelling at him from a close distance. He then appears to punch her in the face, knocking her back before the incident appears to be broken up.

"We are aware of the situation and we do not tolerate that behavior," a spokesperson for the Jets told the New York Daily News. "Parties involved were detained and this matter is now in the hands of the New Jersey State Police."

It's unclear whether alcohol was involved in the incident, but ESPN's Kevin Seifert wrote a column in April complaining of aggressive drunks that can give game-day experiences a bad name. He re-posted a link to it on Twitter Monday, where he wrote:

"...there is at least a subset of financially able people who stay away [from attending games] because of fan behavior. The NFL and stadium security teams have tough jobs here. No one is going to eliminate beer sales, for economic and other reasons, and plenty of people enter the stadium drunk after tailgating, anyway...

Perhaps a hard-line, behavior-changing approach is in order for at least some stadiums. Maybe obviously drunk and/or aggressive fans should get ejected, regardless of the degree to which they're disturbing others, until behavior changes."

Coach Rex Ryan, quarterback Geno Smith and the Jets improved to 4-3, defeating the now 5-2 Patriots by a score of 30-27 Sunday afternoon.

The close matchup especially sparked reactions with fans when a new NFL rule was enforced for the first time, penalizing the Pats' Chris Jones for unsportsmanlike conduct. He pushed a teammate forward in an attempt to block Nick Folk's field goal attempt in overtime, and the controversial call brought the Jets 15 yards closer to set up Folk's game-winning 42-yard kick.
